Sister Jean Let Loyola License Her Name, Image, Didn't Ask for Compensation

Sister Jean Delores Schmidt gave Loyola-Chicago officials clearance to license her name and image on merchandise this week, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

Loyola-Chicago Senior Associate Athletic Director Tom Sorboro said "she didn't ask for anything for herself" upon approval, including compensation.

The 98-year-old Sister Jean has been one of the breakout stars of the NCAA tournament.

She is the team chaplain for the Loyola-Chicago men's basketball squad, and she has been a visible presence throughout the 11th-seeded Ramblers' surprising run to the Final Four.

Per Rovell, Loyola-Chicago has approved more than 25 Sister Jean-related T-shirts, including a Final Four shirt that includes her signature catchphrase, "Worship. Work And Win."

Loyola-Chicago will look to become the first No. 11 seed to ever reach the title game when it faces the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines on Saturday.
